A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of historic Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe UNESCO World Heritage landscape.
Set in one of the most prestigious locations in the Langhe, this extraordinary property lies within the historic medieval village of Monforte d’Alba, one of Piedmont’s most enchanting destinations.
Renowned for its picturesque cobbled lanes, steep medieval streets and celebrated open-air amphitheatre, Monforte offers an exceptional setting surrounded by the rolling vineyards of the Langhe, home to the world-famous Barolo wine. From the property, the panorama unfolds across meticulously cultivated vineyards and historic castles towards the majestic Alpine range, with the unmistakable silhouette of Monviso rising on the horizon.
The property extends from ground level to the roof and comprises three independent yet interconnected residential sections, each with its own private entrance from the charming cobbled street.
This distinctive configuration offers extraordinary flexibility. The three units can be seamlessly enjoyed as one prestigious private residence, or retained as separate accommodations, making the property equally suited to a combination of private use and luxury hospitality, or as a sophisticated investment opportunity with strong income-generating potential.
The restoration has been carried out with exceptional care, preserving the soul and architectural character of the historic building while introducing refined contemporary elements.
Traditional materials such as hand-finished terracotta, natural wood and local stone have been thoughtfully restored and enhanced by the use of glass, steel and resin. Contemporary glass flooring and staircases create striking visual perspectives, allowing the original architectural features to remain at the centre of the design.
The interiors are enriched by original wooden ceilings, exposed stone walls and magnificent brick vaults, including the characteristic ribbed vault details typical of the region. The result is a harmonious balance between historic authenticity and contemporary elegance—a sophisticated example of how centuries-old spaces can be preserved, enhanced and brought back to life.
Each of the three residential sections offers a different layout and includes one, two or three bedrooms, together with one or more bathrooms, a private kitchen and living areas. Depending on the unit, additional spaces include a traditional tavern, relaxation room or versatile ancillary living areas.
Two of the residences enjoy exceptionally spacious and fully equipped terraces, offering an extraordinary outdoor extension of the interiors and spectacular views over the surrounding landscape.
The property offers approximately 390 sq m of total accommodation and outdoor space, creating a rare combination of privacy, historic character, panoramic views and investment potential.
